The difference between the freezing and boiling point of water on the Fahrenheit scale is equal to (9 / 5) x 100 = 180 degrees. The freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, or zero degrees Celsius, while the boiling point of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit, or 100 degrees Celsius.
You are mixing apples and oranges. A degree is a unit of measure. How big the unit is depends upon the scale. Fahreheit is a scale of temperature measurement. There are 180 degrees between boiling and freezing temperature of water. Celsius is a scale of temperature measurement. There are 100 degrees between boiling and freezing termperature of water.
Accounting for water: freezing is 32 degrees and boiling is 212 degrees. The midway point would be 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
The ice point and steam point that you refer to are called the boiling and freezing point. Each substance has a different boiling and freezing point, though for water it is 0 degrees Celsius is freezing and 100 degrees Celsius is boiling. Or if you use Fahrenheit, it is 32 degrees Fahrenheit for freezing and 212 degrees Fahrenheit for boiling. So depending on what system of measurement you use for temperature, the number of degrees separating the boiling and freezing points of water can be 100 degrees for Celsius or 180 degrees for Fahrenheit.
100 degrees
Freezing point of water is 0 C and boiling point is 100 C.
0 degrees

Apparently to have a 100 degree scale between freezing and boiling. Fahrenheit has the freezing point at 32 degrees and boiling at 212 degrees. However, in Celsius, the freezing point is 0 degrees and the boiling point is 100 degrees.
Freezing = 0 Boiling = 100
freezing= 0 boiling= 100

100 degrees
the freezing point is 0 degrees and the boiling point is 100 degrees
CELSIUS: Freezing = 0 degrees Boiling = 100 degrees FAHRENHEIT: Freezing = 32 degrees Boiling = 212 degrees
50 degrees Celsius or 122 degrees Fahrenheit
